Hi, this is an awesome tool. I've seen a very similar python library, and was looking for something in Node. I've begun to build a PubFilm scraper, with the aim of extracting the actual video file links from the media page - returned by your module and return the resulting video feed as JSON or other.

Do you have any ambitions to do something similar or do you know of any projects that integrate your module?

I had started working on a youtube-dl-inspired program for primewire-returned links a few years ago, but I don't agree with the stdout-dumping I did. It should just return the direct link (mp4/flv/avi/whatever). I was planning to start working on it again, but you're welcome to make your own and salvage whatever you can out of it. If you're going to be including a lot of files (a file per website approach like I did), I recommend using browserify to bundle all of it together as it was slow to startup.

And it looks like somebody forked it recently! https://github.com/SwadicalRag/directdetect-revised
